So they ended up turning this little twenty eight page book into the movie. And it's all about this stinky, smelly ogre who doesn't care what anybody thinks of him. |
My dad loved to laugh. He was very funny and very silly. |
Oh, you know, driving around, coming to a stop sign and an entire family, from 8 to 80, will be looking at me with that Dr. Evil look - pinkie on the mouth. |
When you're writing these things, you're in a room making each other laugh, you really have very little sense of political correctness or incorrectness. This is a question that Europe tends to ask and America doesn't. |
I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character. |
I loved the logistical reality of a guy who wants to take over the world, yet who has a family too. |
Europe is weird songs that would never make it in America. |
For me, everything definitely comes from music. |
Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded. |
